Danette P. says, " I really found working with Patrick was helpful and an overall great experience. Unlike other tutors I've had, Patrick actually takes the time to work through the problem and have you explain your steps instead of simply saying whether you're correct. He truly makes you think. He's also great at working through multiple methods to get to a solution and making sure you find one that you're comfortable with. Patrick makes sure you truly understand what and why you're doing each step, and solving a problem becomes something more than simply going through the motions of a concept. He's always completely open to questions or even you posing new theories/methods as well as he himself trying said methods. All in all, Patrick is a great tutor and it's evident how invested he is."

On average, students take 9 to 50 sessions.

One more person to add to your list of SoFlo successes! One need not look any further for a statistics tutor. Our tutor Manny yield successful results! His experience is evident as is his love of teaching. He identified my problems at their root and created a customized plan to help me improve. My tutor is a great motivator, making the material relevant and easy to understand with nice examples. Thank you for helping restore my confidence. The world needs great teachers as talented and devoted as you are Manny. I can say that you are in a league of your own. What a great mathematician/statistician you are! I tried two other statistics instructors that had great reviews and high credentials, but they did not make a positive enough impact on my statistics learning like you were able to do for me. They also charged more. I achieved more learning in less time when you taught. You're smart and you care for all the right reasons. My only regret or misfortune was that I had not discovered you earlier. Results are achievable with you! I'm living proof!

Let me tell you, you are getting the best of the best with Patrick! He is a great human. I taught Patrick and two of his six siblings as a first grade teacher at Our Saviour Grade School. They were some of the smartest children I have ever taught, even today. I am still friends with his mother and father. I watched Patrick grow from a precocious boy to a responsible young man as he is a friend of my daughter as well. When he was in town for a while after graduating from Notre Dame, I was tutoring and one of my students needed help in an advanced math class. I didn’t feel I able to provide the guidance that he needed so I asked Pat. He gladly met my student and me and with ease, and an innate ability quickly explained what I could not! I have no doubt that he has the skills and abilities to guide your daughter to a better understanding of trigonometry. Please consider Patrick for the position of tutor for your son or daughter. I believe you will be very satisfied.

My daughter had to write a pre-algebra test in a few days and I was concerned she was struggling. I contacted SoFlo online, expressed my concern and in spite of the tight schedule they moved things around to accommodate my daughter. I witnessed the session and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I love the teaching method, and that my daughter was offered multiple methods to solve the same problem. I recommend SoFlo highly!

I was referred through another family whose son got into UCLA after working with Ben. Ben helped my son improve 7 points on the ACT to a 33 score. Now my son is eligible for a lot of scholarships and has even gotten a full-ride offer from a few schools. I'm so grateful to Ben for being able to help my son - he is an awesome tutor!
